Mr Catalogue of Minerals and Mineralogical Books 100 pages is sent free to all intending purchasers wht, 

 request it on headed paper and to all customers, to others post-paid on receipt of 5 cents, heavy paper 10 cents, 

 hound in cloth 35 cents, y„ sheep 50 cents, % calf 75 cents, interleaved, each, 25 cents additional. (Price-list alone 

 free, or heavy paper 5 cents.) It is profusely illustrated, and the printer and engraver charged me about S1,000 

 before a copv was struck off. By means of the table of species and accompanying tables, most species may be 

 verified. The price list is an excellent check list, containing the names of all the species to 18S9, and the more- 

 common varieties, arranged alphabetically, and preceded by the species number. The species number indicates, 

 the place of any mineral in tbe table of species, where will be found the species name, streak or lustre, cleavage 

 or fracture, hardness, specific gravity, fusibility, and crystallization. 



COLLECTIONS OF MINERALS for Students, Amateurs, Professor's, Chemists, Physicians et al. 



The collections of 100 illustrate the principal species and all the grand subdivisions in Dana'sand other Miner- 

 alogies; all the principal Ores, &c, &e. The first hundred includes every species in the list advised in Dana's Manual, 

 and some species like Wulfenite, Vivianite, Nitratine, Labradorite, Datolite, Titanite, and Embolite, that are espe- 

 cially advised by Brush. Nason, Egleston or other writers on Mineralogy and blowpipe analysis; also other species 

 like Tur'quois, Azurite, Microcline and Wavellite that are important. The second hundred includes the remaining; 

 varieties advised by Dana, and most species advised in test-books on Mineralogy and blowpipe work. 



Our third hundred includes more rare species and varieties. The 300 include nearly all mentioned in large? 

 type in Dana's and other text-books on Mineralogy and blowpipe analysis, and a few recent species of much, 

 importance not mentioned in them. The collections are labelled with printed labels that can only be removed. 

 by soaking. The labels ofthe Students and higher priced collections give Dana's species number, the name, locality, 

 and in most cases, the composition of the "Mineral; the §1.50 and higher, are also accompanied by my illus- 

 trated Catalogue and table of species. The sizes given are average; some smaller, many larger.

No references are given because there are but few institutions in America that have not purchased of hie and. 

 but few countries where I have no customers. 



Many of the scientific men of the country recognizing the advantage of having such an exchange, have placed, 

 copies of their papers in my hands for sale on commission. Our lists of scientific books are sent free on light 

 paper, except the 200 page Medical Catalogue, same prices as the Mineral Catalogue. Heavy paper, see pasre or 

 nook abbreviations. 



All American books in print supplied on order. Foreign books obtained to order in a few weeks. Of the 

 second-handbooks on my Mst I have generally only single copies, but when sold I replace them as soon as possible. 



When any book inquired for comes to hand, a memorandum, stating description and price will be sent. 

 In our book catalogues the prices opposite the latest number supercede former prices usually where descriptions 

 are the same. My arrangements for noting the needs of my correspondents are nearly perfect. 



Over 200,000 pamphlets and papers, many uncatalogued, in stock. I will get what you order ultimately. 



Finally and of the Most Importance. — We must especially request our customers to let us know ol all 

 mistakes and errors that may occur at our establishment. AVe can and will gladly rectify them at our own expense^
